Five of the nation's top women's soccer stars, including the World Cup MVP Carli Lloyd, plan to file a federal complaint Thursday accusing U.S. Soccer of wage discrimination, the New York Times reported.

The athletes, including members of the reigning Women's World Cup champion team, argue they were paid much less than the top men in the sport, according to their attorney, Jeffrey Kessler. The five women also include World Cup goalie Hope Solo, co-captain Becky Sauerbrunn, forward Alex Morgan and midfielder Megan Rapinoe.

The U.S. women's team won the 2015 World Cup with a commanding performance over Japan.

“We are disappointed about this action. We have been a world leader in women’s soccer and are proud of the commitment we have made to building the women’s game in the United States over

Hope just needs to go away. She and her abusing ex NFL boyfriend are just looking for last payout before absolutely no one gives fuck about them anymore. I don't think she could even do porn with that beat up trim.

If you google hard enough you should still be able to find hope solo's awful gnarled up box on the internet somewhere. Can't look at her anymore it reminds of it.

This is your typical crude comment...

 

... But you're right

You're right, supply and demand. If there was more of a market, they'd get paid more.

 

That being said, our women's national team is probably the most popular female sports team in the country. I wouldn't be surprised if they were underpaid

 

 

On the other hand... Alex Morgan. I'm on her side. For reasons

At least someone understood how desperately I was tryng to hijack this thread into a discussion about what a let down that was. I mean, when I heard it was out there I was like nuh uh...srsly? Like for real? It's hers verified? Pinky swear it's her?

 

 

It just shows you never can tell.

correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought womens soccer was infact watched more than the men. As it kind of should be since they don't suck and the men do.

Like being the best surfer in Nebraska. No one watches soccer so the women may have the lion's share of the 8 people who tune in.

Reasons. Good reasons. Very good reasons in fact. Reasons so good you wouldn't believe me if I told you. Trust me when I say I have reasons because I've had so many reasons in the past, I'm the greatest at reasons.

 

On OP, supply and demand, yes. People care less about women's sport by virtue of it being women. It's the one area that genders won't really be equal, physical excellence. Of course plenty of women will be better then most men at some things, but the floor, ceiling and average of men will just be better when it comes to athleticism, and people want to watch the best.

I don't think that's true.

 

Maybe they had a more highly watched game in their World Cup than the men?

Oh ok. I thought they had better ratings overall but maybe im wrong. In any case, time to blow this thread up. Time to kick it up a notch. Gentlemen are you ready?

Personally I don't give a fuck about either soccer team and feel neither should be paid for playing such an insanely sissy sport.
